You have fame. You have fortune. You have Patrick Schwarzenegger. What's next for you? A neon smiley face emoji glowing straight out of your crotch, of course—and all of it presented by Tommy Hilfiger.

That was the scene last night at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami, where Cyrus, 22, took the stage in a purple pastel bodysuit accessorized with her own pieces of art (which made their public debut this September at New York Fashion Week). Hosted by V Magazine, Mr. Hilfiger, and the art world maven Jeffrey Deitch, Miss Miley took the stage promptly at 11:04 pm, and graciously thanked the crowd for braving the chaos to see her.

As the glare of a zillion iPhones flashed in her face, Cyrus sang classic rock hits like "So Happy Together" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," all while wearing emoji-themed costumes, including a giant rainbow, which she shared with the Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, who made a surprise appearance onstage.

Weird? Sure. But here's the thing—the #WTF performance was also kind of brilliant, since 1) she sounded amazing (face it, the girl can sing!) and 2) she conquered the art scene on her own terms. In corralling major gallery owners and collectors into her own special cage, Cyrus created an experience that was both to-die-for exclusive and, frankly, insane—much like the astronomical posturing and prices seen in today's contemporary art market.
